'Agather' Christie's source material is 'great for my wife, she loves it' but others think 'it's awful'. Yes, I was trying to work out if the / a DVD version is better than ours, which is really shit. And so encountered the voice of the public singing its songs.
Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston, C Aubrey Smith, Richard Haydn, Louis Hayward (not a great career, had a short affair with Noel Coward, was married to Ida Lupino for a time, smoked 80 cigarettes a day!), June Duprez (The Four Feathers, The Thief of Bagdad, None But the Lonely Heart), Roland Young, Judith Anderson, Mischa Auer, Queenie Leonard. Duprez and Hayward were both British born.
It's fabulous. Clair has just the right attitude to the material - playful, mysterious, human, fun.
